Chapter 302 Missing
Now, Sister Qin and Brother are only engaged in name. Even if she is unhappy about something, she will not tell Brother directly.
As a girl herself, He Fei understands girls best. Furthermore, because she and Chen Qin have a very good relationship, even though Chen Qin doesn't say it, she must be unhappy inside.
After He Fei finished speaking, He Yi looked stunned. "But the Grand Elder treats her very badly, and she doesn't seem unhappy at all."
He Fei almost ignored her silly brother and gave an example, saying, "Do you think if I'm unhappy about something, I would tell Chen Feng directly?"
He Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No."
But... "Why use Chen Feng as an example?"
He Fei choked for a moment, then quickly said, "That's not important. What we're discussing now is the matter between you and Sister Qin."
He Yi didn't think much of it and said, "Then continue."
"So, I guess Sister Qin isn't very happy."
He Yi, feeling worried, said, "Can you do my brother a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
“I’ve already been there today. If I go again, the Grand Elder might become suspicious. But you’re different. You and she are both girls. You can use curiosity as an excuse to ask her out for a stroll and, while you’re at it, comfort her for me.”
He Fei's thoughts were similar to this, and after He Yi finished speaking, He Fei nodded and said, "Okay."
After answering, He Fei rested her chin on her hand again. He Yi felt uneasy under He Fei's gaze and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"It's nothing," He Fei said. "I'm just curious, why are you so concerned about Sister Qin?"
He Yi didn't know why he cared so much about Chen Qin, so he made up a reason on the spot: "You call her Sister Qin, so as your brother, of course I have to help her."
He Fei sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
He Yi didn't answer He Fei, but asked, "Shouldn't you tell me how you knew this was related to her?"
He Fei made a face and said, "I'm not telling you."
He Yi looked resentful; his younger sister wasn't as cute as she used to be.
He Yi then instructed He Fei not to forget, but He Fei just wanted to tell him to leave: "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget Sister Qin's matter."
The next day, He Fei had just finished breakfast when He Yi impatiently started urging her again.
“I’ll go right away,” He Fei said.
He Fei was also worried about Chen Qin's condition, but when she arrived at Chen Qin's courtyard, she found that there were many people guarding it.
These people saw He Fei and immediately stopped her, asking, "What are you doing?"
“I’m here to see Chen Qin,” He Fei said. “Let me in quickly.”
"No, you can't go in."
"Why won't you let me in?" He Fei crossed her arms and looked at these people coldly, not in a hurry.
He Fei looked like a teenage girl, but just standing there, she inexplicably made the servants feel a sense of pressure.
The servant shook his head, realizing he must be overthinking things. She was just a teenage girl; what pressure could she possibly be under? The servant said, "The young lady is not in a position to see anyone right now. If you are her friend, please leave."
“No,” He Fei said. “I absolutely have to see him today.”
“Miss, please don’t make things difficult for us.” The servant said, “The Grand Elder has given instructions that the young lady is not allowed to see anyone recently. Moreover, it was the young lady who took the initiative to tell the Grand Elder that he gave this order.”
"The Grand Elder sent us to guard this place because he was worried that someone might disturb the young lady."
The servant spoke with great conviction, which He Fei found ironic. If someone were unaware of the situation, they might think the Grand Elder doted on his daughter, but He Fei knew perfectly well that he wasn't.
Moreover, Chen Qin wouldn't suddenly issue such an order without a reason. In her opinion, it was simply because the Grand Elder was angry about what Sister Qin had done to him in front of his brother yesterday, and he was disciplining Chen Qin by forbidding her from seeing anyone.
He Fei felt sorry for Chen Qin. Looking at the servants who had completely blocked off Chen Qin's courtyard, she said with a cold face, "Do you know who I am?"
The servant remained vigilant, saying, "Miss, no matter who you are, our young lady will not see anyone today."
The servant sighed and said, seemingly out of kindness, "Miss, I'm only telling you this because I mean well. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't say so much. If the Grand Elder finds out, you'll probably be scolded by him."
"Young lady, you should listen to me and leave quickly."
“Since you say so…” He Fei looked at them and said, “Then I’m not leaving today.”
“I’m putting my words out there,” He Fei said. “I’m not leaving until I see him today.”
The servants hadn't expected that even after they'd gone this far, He Fei would still insist on not leaving. Thinking back to how He Fei had asked them if they knew who she was, the servants became suspicious. Could she really be someone of great status?
The servant looked He Fei up and down, racking his brains for a long time before finally shaking his head. He had never seen this person at the Grand Elder's residence.
As for the elder or the second young lady's friends, he remembered those who came frequently, but he had no recollection of He Fei at all. She was here to see the eldest young lady, and he didn't think that a useless person like the eldest young lady would know any important figures. She was probably just an ordinary person he met by chance.
If someone had status, the servants would be afraid, but for someone like He Fei, who was just a nobody, the servants couldn't even be bothered to give her a second glance. After confirming that they had never seen He Fei before, the servants became even more perfunctory and casual.
"Even if you were the King of Heaven, it wouldn't matter, young lady. If the young lady doesn't want to see people, she simply won't see them."
He Fei's face turned completely cold as she said, "Are you sure?"
The servant chuckled dismissively and said, "Of course I'm sure. So, young lady, don't waste your time. Just go back to where you came from."
The other servants chimed in, "That's right, young lady. Our young lady isn't receiving guests today. It's a waste of your time if you stay here any longer."
A servant with a lewd appearance looked at He Fei and said, "The little girl is quite pretty. If you really want to stay here, it wouldn't be bad to keep the brothers company." His laughter was nauseating.
The Grand Elder happened to be passing by when he heard this. He frowned and looked at his servants: "What's going on with you all?"
Upon hearing the elder's voice, the servant was startled, his expression immediately turning serious. He knelt down and respectfully bowed to the elder before speaking ingratiatingly, "Elder, this girl has come to see the young lady. We have already told her that you have instructed that no one is allowed to disturb the young lady, but this girl not only ignores our advice but also insists on going in to see the young lady."
“We were worried that she would violate the Grand Elder’s peace and disturb the young lady, but she also spoke rudely to us, so we said some harsh things in anger.”
The servants portrayed He Fei as an unreasonable person. They thought that even if the Grand Elder heard the last sentence, he wouldn't blame them. They were the Grand Elder's servants, while this girl was just an ordinary person. The Grand Elder would never punish them for an ordinary person.
